Impala is a terminal user interface (TUI) application written in Rust for managing Wi-Fi connections on Linux via the iwd daemon. It supports station and access point modes, WPA Enterprise (802.1X), hidden networks, and QR code network sharing.

Use cases

  • manage wifi from the terminal on linux
  • connect to wireless networks using iwd
  • scan and join hidden wifi networks
  • share wifi credentials via QR code
  • configure WPA Enterprise 802.1X connections
  • run a linux access point from the terminal
  • replace NetworkManager wifi management with a TUI

When to choose

  • you use iwd as your wireless daemon on Linux and want a terminal UI
  • you prefer keyboard-driven wifi management over GUI applets
  • you need 802.1X enterprise wifi or AP mode in a TUI
  • you run a minimal Linux setup without NetworkManager

When to avoid

  • your system manages wifi with NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant instead of iwd
  • you need a graphical wifi manager
  • you are on macOS, Windows, or BSD
